2. Iyngipicus meniscus. 



Picus meniscus, Malh. Monogr. Picid. 1861, p. 151, pi. xxxv. 

 figs. 2, 3, 4; Gray, List Picid. Brit. Mus. 1868, p. 41 ; id. 

 Hand-1. B. ii. p. 184. no. 8586 (1870) ; Sundev. Consp. Av. 

 Picin. p. 28 (1866). 



BcBopipo menisca, Cab.&Heine, Mus. Hein.Th. iv. p. 55 (1863) . 

 Similis /. semicoronato et fascia occipitali rubra ornatus, sed 

 rectricibus omnibus albo maculatis distiuguendus. 



This is a species I have not seen ; and yet it appears to be 

 a distinct one, if Malherbe's description and plates are to be 

 trusted, though at the same time the habitat " Inde " is inde- 

 finite enough. I can only leave to Mr. Hume to search for 

 this unknown bird. Like /. semicoronatus , this species has a 

 red occipital band, but differs in having all the tail-feathers 

 spotted with white.
